@domdesm You have never posted any of your real living pictures in China.
Conclusion: You are a Chinese Liar like CCP.

12 years ago, this passport stamp changed the direction of my life.
My wife brought me back with her to China, and somehow convinced me that this was where our future would begin.
At the time, I had no idea that this place would become home, or that it would lead to a family, a business, lifelong friendships, endless lessons, countless adventures, and many new chapters.
People sometimes ask me if I will ever move back to Canada. My answer is simple: China is home.

@domdesm You will always still be a 老外 though.
No matter what everyone tells you about China being your 第二个故乡
You’ll still always be an outsider.
Not saying it’s bad or good but it’s the truth.
As welcome and kind as Chinese are, 老外 remains a 老外

@domdesm How long did you think you stay ? I said 2 years, 11 years ago…

@b0pE02aPeIv5Adq Of course I know who he is. I am planning a trip to ShiJiaZhuang to lay some flowers on this tomb.

@Lily4Liberty You are so full of shit. 💩 i’ve lived in China for eight years and I’ve never seen this. There’s no social credit score either.

Eight reasons China made it
1) Flattened social hierarchies
2) Pushed gender equality
3) Never allowed the West any control
4) Pushed education & nutrition for all
5) Locked religion behind private doors
6) Set national S&T goals and achieved it
7) Played the West's game against the West itself
8) Kept the top corporates under the State's boot.
1, 2, 4 and 5 transformed the society.
5 further made society rational & progressive.
3 and 7 kept it sovereign.
6 prepared it for 21st century.
8 allowed for common prosperity & not naked loot.
Despite its authoritarianism and surveillance state character, it did a lot for the common Chinese citizen (bar a few groups like rural elderly etc.) and miraculously escaped the poverty trap.
Very difficult, though desirable, for many other nations to even copy bits and pieces of this playbook.

I don't understand why everyone dreads long flights so much.
I feel like I change the trajectory of my life every time I take a 20-hour flight across the world.
I sit on my computer, listen to podcasts, write, work, introspect, and plan my next season of life (usually fueled by a fair amount of caffeine).
By the end of it, I've produced a bunch of content, clarified my vision, and know the exact moves that will get me to the next level.
Looking back, long flights often end up being the most transformational days of my year. I look forward to them every time I go traveling for this reason.
